Dell Technologies used the Dell Technologies World in Las Vegas to announce the latest generation of AI acceleration servers which come equipped with Nvidia’s Blackwell Ultra GPUs.The systems claim to deliver up to four times faster AI training capabilities compared to previous generations, as Dell expands its AI Factory partnership with Nvidia amid intense competition in the enterprise AI hardware market.The servers arrive as organisations move from experimental AI projects to production-scale implementations, creating demand for more sophisticated computing infrastructure.The new lineup features air-cooled PowerEdge XE9780 and XE9785 servers, designed for conventional data centres, and liquid-cooled XE9780L and XE9785L variants, optimised for whole-rack deployment.The advanced systems support configurations with up to 192 Nvidia Blackwell Ultra GPUs with direct-to-chip liquid cooling, expandable to 256 GPUs per Dell IR7000 rack. “We’re on a mission to bring AI to millions of customers around the world,” said Michael Dell, the eponymous chairman and chief executive officer. “Our job is to make AI more accessible. With the Dell AI Factory with Nvidia, enterprises can manage the entire AI lifecycle in use cases, from deployment to training, at any scale.”Dell’s self-designation as “the world’s top provider of AI-centric infrastructure” appears calculated as companies try to deploy AI and navigate technical hurdles.Critical assessment of Dell’s AI hardware strategyWhile Dell’s AI acceleration hardware advancements appear impressive on the basis of tech specs, several factors will ultimately determine their market impact. The company has withheld pricing information for these high-end systems, which will undoubtedly represent substantial capital investments for organisations considering deployment.The cooling infrastructure alone, particularly for the liquid-cooled variants, may need modifications to data centres for many potential customers, adding complexity and cost beyond the server hardware itself.Industry observers note that Dell faces intensifying competition in the AI hardware space from companies like Super Micro Computer, which has aggressively targeted the AI server market with similar offerings.However, Super Micro has recently encountered production cost challenges and margin pressure, potentially creating an opening for Dell if it can deliver competitive pricing.Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, emphasised the transformative potential of these systems: “AI factories are the infrastructure of modern industry, generating intelligence to power work in healthcare, finance and manufacturing. With Dell Technologies, we’re offering the broadest line of Blackwell AI systems to serve AI factories in clouds, enterprises and at the edge.”Comprehensive AI acceleration ecosystemDell’s AI acceleration strategy extends beyond server hardware to encompass networking, storage, and software components:The networking portfolio now includes the PowerSwitch SN5600 and SN2201 switches (part of Nvidia’s Spectrum-X platform) and Nvidia Quantum-X800 InfiniBand switches, capable of up to 800 gigabits per second throughput with Dell ProSupport and Deployment Services.The Dell AI Data Platform has received upgrades to enhance data management for AI applications, including a denser ObjectScale system with Nvidia BlueField-3 and Spectrum-4 networking integrations.In software, Dell offers the Nvidia AI Enterprise software platform directly, featuring Nvidia NIM, NeMo microservices, and Blueprints to streamline AI development workflows.The company also introduced Managed Services for its AI Factory with Nvidia, providing monitoring, reporting, and maintenance to help organisations address expertise gaps – skilled professionals remain in short supply.Availability timeline and market implicationsDell’s AI acceleration platform rollout follows a staggered schedule throughout 2025:Air-cooled PowerEdge XE9780 and XE9785 servers with NVIDIA HGX B300 GPUs will be available in the second half of 2025The liquid-cooled PowerEdge XE9780L and XE9785L variants are expected later this yearThe PowerEdge XE7745 server with Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs will launch in July 2025The PowerEdge XE9712 featuring GB300 NVL72 will arrive in the second half of 2025Dell plans to support Nvidia’s Vera CPU and Vera Rubin platform, signalling a longer-term commitment to expanding its AI ecosystem beyond this product lineup.Strategic analysis of the AI acceleration marketDell’s push into AI acceleration hardware reflects a strategy change to capitalise on the artificial intelligence boom, and use its established enterprise customer relationships.As organisations realise the complexity and expense of implementing AI at scale, Dell appears to be positioning itself as a comprehensive solution provider rather than merely a hardware vendor.However, the success of Dell’s AI acceleration initiative will ultimately depend on how effectively systems deliver measurable business value.Organisations investing in high-end infrastructure will demand operational improvements and competitive advantages that justify the significant capital expenditure.The partnership with Nvidia provides Dell access to next-gen AI accelerator technology, but also creates dependency on Nvidia’s supply chain and product roadmap. Given persistent chip shortages and extraordinary demand for AI accelerators, Dell’s ability to secure adequate GPU allocations will prove crucial for meeting customer expectations.(Photo by Nvidia)See also: Dell, Intel and University of Cambridge deploy the UK’s fastest AI supercomputerWant to learn more about AI and big data from industry leaders?

Here I will show you how to export the plugin from lyra and integrate into your own project. Then you will be able to use it to broadcast and listen to gameplay messages. The significance of this system is, usually if we need to setup an event that other actors/classes can subscribe/bind, we will be using event delegates. But we would need a hard reference to the class that defines the delegate. Gameplay messaging system eliminates this requirement for hard reference. Messages are identified with gameplay tags and any class can broadcast and any class can listen to the messages and fire events upon receiving the message. You can consider this as the 30th part of the Real Time Strategy game using Unreal Engine and C++ tutorial series as we are going to utilize the gameplay messaging system in this project.

Baldur's Gate 3's terrible miniatures "missed the mark" so much, WizKids is offering refunds Company is taking complaints "seriously." Image credit: Eurogamer/WizKids News by Matt Wales News Reporter Published on May 19, 2025 Board game company WizKids has apologised for its recent line of Baldur's Gate 3 miniatures, acknowledging the melty faced monstrosities "missed the mark" and offering full refunds. WizKids announced the range - officially known as Dungeons & Dragons: Icons Of The Realms: Baldur's Gate 3 - at the end of last year, and US customers began receiving their £50/$49.99, seven-character sets earlier this month. However, rather than the crisply detailed renditions of Astarion, Karlach, Gale, Shadowheart, Wyll, Lae'zel and Withers featured in WizKids' promotional material, customers instead received pre-painted miniatures that wouldn't have looked out of place in a Borja church fresco - and complaints were swift. And now, with more and more images of the squishy faced disappointments being shared online, WizKids has been forced to concede that, yes, its Baldur's Gate 3 miniatures are in fact rubbish. "As a company, WizKids seeks to create products that enhance and add to the enjoyment of game play," it wrote on its website. "We want our customers to build long-lasting, fond memories around game nights with friends and family using our products." Uncanny. | Image credit: Eurogamer/WizKids "Unfortunately, we missed the mark on this goal with the D&D Icons of the Realms: Baldur's Gate 3 Character Boxed Set," it continued. "If you purchased this set through our online stores, we will be offering a full refund to those who are unsatisfied with their set... We're aware of the recent reports and complaints and are taking them seriously. Our team is currently investigating these issues and taking action to make this right for those whose purchases were negatively affected and to ensure these issues do not recur in future products and reprints." WizKids notes anyone who purchased the box set from a third-party retailer should contact them directly for a refund, while those wishing for a replacement - one that "meets the standards expected" - can do so via its website. "Please accept our sincerest apologies for the frustration and disappointment these quality issues caused our customers," WizKids concluded. "We, too, feel the same as the final product did not meet our expectations or that of our Wizards of the Coast partner. Our teams are working to find the best solutions to resolve this for all involved and to work with you, our customers, to fix this. We appreciate your patience as we focus on getting back to those affected and helping them with their refunds in a timely manner." It's hardly a fitting celebration of developer Larian's acclaimed 2023 RPG, but with the studio's work on the game now largely at an end following April's massive Patch 8, Astarion, Karlach, and friends are now entirely at Dungeons & Dragons owner Hasbro's mercy. And if that means licensing them out to be turned into unrecgonsisable bits of plastic, then so be. Hasbro has, of course, already confirmed it's keen to find a studio to make Baldur's Gate 4, but with Larian now working on its own mysterious projects, it's unclear how far off that may be.

Every maker knows that familiar frustration: you’re deep into a project, carefully crafting something amazing, when your cutting tool snags, slips, or simply can’t handle the precision you need. Traditional cutting methods often leave rough edges, melted plastic, or splintered materials that require hours of additional sanding and finishing. Whether you’re trimming 3D prints, working with delicate materials, or adding intricate details to a model, the limitations of conventional tools can turn creative excitement into tedious damage control. The NeoBlade wireless ultrasonic cutter changes everything about how makers approach precision cutting tasks. This revolutionary tool harnesses the power of 40 kHz ultrasonic vibration technology in a compact, cordless package that weighs just 6.4 ounces with the battery installed. The high-frequency micro-vibrations allow the blade to slice through materials with minimal pressure and maximum control, creating the sensation of cutting through butter even when working with tough materials like carbon fiber, acrylics, or dense woods. This game-changing approach eliminates the struggle and frustration that often accompany detailed cutting work. Designer: HOZO Design Click Here to Buy Now: $99 $149 (33% off). Hurry, only 48/300 left! Raised over $216,000. What truly sets the NeoBlade apart is its intelligent auto power adjustment system that intuitively adapts to different materials as you cut. This smart technology means you don’t need to constantly fiddle with settings or worry about applying too much force when transitioning between materials in mixed-media projects. The cutter automatically optimizes its performance whether you’re working with delicate PLA filament from a 3D print, tough ABS plastic, natural wood, or even PCB boards, allowing you to focus entirely on your creative vision rather than managing your tool. Dual cutting modes provide versatility for different project needs without compromising on performance. Precision mode delivers short, controlled cuts perfect for trimming intricate details, deburring edges, or making tiny adjustments to delicate parts. When you need to make longer cuts for splitting materials or creating grooves, Continuous mode keeps the blade vibrating without interruption, allowing smooth, consistent cutting action across the entire length of your workpiece. It’s a kind of flexibility that makes the NeoBlade suitable for everything from quick touch-ups to major fabrication tasks. Heat management has always been the Achilles’ heel of cutting tools, but the NeoBlade’s built-in turbofan cooling system solves this problem elegantly. The innovative ventilation design pulls air through side vents to maintain optimal operating temperature even during extended use. This cooling technology not only prevents the blade from overheating but also keeps the handle comfortable in your hand during long work sessions. More importantly, it ensures consistently clean cuts without the melted edges or material distortion that often occurs with overheated cutting tools. The versatility of the NeoBlade expands dramatically with its six interchangeable blade options, each designed for specific cutting challenges. The standard 30-degree edge handles most everyday tasks, while specialized options like the curved blade for fluid motions, the chisel-like blade for carving, and the double-edge blade for creating precise grooves allow you to tackle virtually any cutting task with confidence. Each blade comes in a spring-loaded dispenser with a one-way disposal slot, making replacements quick, easy, and safe without interrupting your creative flow. Changing the Battery Battery management becomes virtually effortless with the TurboDock charging system, eliminating the productivity-killing downtime that plagues other wireless tools. The dual-slot dock simultaneously charges both the NeoBlade and a spare battery in just 30 minutes, ensuring you always have power ready when inspiration strikes. This quick-swap battery system means you can work continuously on large projects without frustrating interruptions, maintaining your creative momentum from start to finish without being tethered to a power outlet or waiting for recharging. For serious makers who understand that the right tools transform not just the final product but the entire creative process, the NeoBlade represents a significant evolution in cutting technology. Its combination of wireless freedom, intelligent power management, and ultrasonic precision opens new possibilities for projects that previously seemed too delicate or complex to attempt. By removing the limitations and frustrations of traditional cutting methods, the NeoBlade doesn’t just help you make things; it fundamentally changes how you approach the making process, freeing your creativity to explore new materials, techniques, and designs without compromise.

ASUS is updating both its ProArt laptop and its Chromebooks with the latest internals for Computex 2025, and giving both families of laptops a more premium look, with new colors and tasteful finishes. The ASUS ProArt A16 stands out as the most premium pick, with a black aluminum body, "stealth" hinge that bring the top half of the laptop nearly flush with the bottom and a smudge-resistant finish that should hopefully avoid fingerprints. Inside, ASUS is offering an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX processor and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, both of which qualify the new ProArt as a Copilot+ PC. That means you'll get access to Windows' growing list of AI features, and ASUS is also including to apps — StoryCube and MuseTree — that can run generative AI models entirely locally. All packed into a laptop that's around half-an-inch thick and has a 16-inch 4K OLED. Asus In terms of Chromebooks, ASUS is offering both normal models and Chromebook Plus versions that support Google's AI tools. The ASUS Chromebook Plus CX34 has a 14-inch display that can fold flat and a 1080p webcam, alongside up to an Intel Core i5 and 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM. That's enough to offer Gemini features locally, and you'll get priority access to Gemini Advanced. The only real disadvantage is the giant ASUS logo that still looks awkward next to the similarly prominent Chromebook logo, and the limited color options: You can only pick between white or grey. Asus The ASUS Chromebook CX14 and CX15 come with up to an Intel Core N355 processor, put to 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of storage. If you're curious about Google's AI features, you can also purchase a Plus version of the CX14. Whether you get the 14-inch or 15-inch model, both come with a respectable selection of ports, including HDMI for connecting to external displays. Either size also gets a variety of color options: blue, and a sliver-y grey or a greenish-grey in a either a matte or textured finish. Asus The ASUS Chromebook CX34 is available now starting at $400 from both Walmart and Best Buy. Meanwhile, the rest of the above laptops won't be available until Q2 2025. The ProArt A16 starts at $2,500 from ASUS' online store and Best Buy. The Chromebook CX14 starts at $279 from Best Buy or Costco. The Chromebook Plus CX14 will be available for $429 from Best Buy. And finally the Chromebook CX15 starts at $220 and will be able to be purchased from Best Buy and Amazon.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/computing/laptops/the-asus-proart-a16-laptop-gets-you-the-latest-from-amd-and-a-giant-screen-013037587.html?src=rss

WizKids is offering refunds for its Baldur’s Gate 3 miniature set after fans criticized the quality of the pre-painted figurines. The $50 D&D Icons of the Realms: Baldur’s Gate 3 set, which includes the six origin characters as well as Withers, drew backlash over its paint jobs, which lack detail and precision according to photos posted by customers. WizKids acknowledged the situation in a statement, saying it “seeks to create products that enhance and add to the enjoyment of game play,” but that “unfortunately, we missed the mark on this goal.” To remedy the situation, customers who bought the set directly from WizKids can request a refund through the company’s customer service email. Those who purchased the set from a local retailer can seek a refund at that point of sale. There is also a product replacement option available through WizKids’ website for anyone who wishes to roll the dice again with WizKids. Images of the melty-faced miniatures have been circulating online recently since they were sent out. A senior cinematic artist for Larian Studios who worked on Baldur’s Gate 3 took to X to share the disappointing distortion from expectations to reality. For some, the melty pre-painted faces were not the biggest cause for concern, because the miniature set they received didn’t even have a head for Shadowheart! What I ordered VS what I received. Only Gale has a decent face. It's expensive for a 5 years old painting work… Shame on you @Wizards_DnD pic.twitter.com/JcMCBhtRpt— Gale-LOD 😏 (@HighLODLar) May 13, 2025 The set’s quality issues are surely disappointing for Baldur’s Gate 3 fans who were hoping for collectible-quality figures of the game’s beloved cast. Although seven pre-painted figures for $50 is not that expensive in the hobby, even those with modest expectations have been surprised by how poorly they turned out. For others, though, these flawed minis might end up as collectibles in their own right. Misprints and errors have occasionally gained value over time in other collectible hobbies, and with refunds and replacements already underway, the original run of these figures could ironically become a desired oddity for collectors.

What does it mean to design from the inside out? For Ionut Radulescu, the answer lies in work that's unapologetically personal, often intimate, sometimes raw, and always resonant. Whether crafting bold editorial collages, expressive lettering or hand-drawn brand campaigns, the Romanian-born, Brooklyn-based designer and illustrator builds visual worlds with heart. "I think there's a certain power in being vulnerable, raw, authentic," he says. "And people can feel that – they can resonate and react to these visual messages." Ionut's creative language spans illustration, type, print and digital, often sitting at the intersection of identity and motivation. His clients include The New York Times, Peloton, Converse, Teen Vogue, Pepsi, and Dipsea, but his visual voice first gained traction through personal projects. Posted to Instagram like visual diary entries, these self-initiated pieces soon caught the attention of like-minded brands seeking a similar honesty and intensity. "The series Shapes and Flesh, these collages, shapes, sometimes mixed with type, were inspired by my queer life. I wanted to translate those experiences into abstract visuals," he explains. "The same goes for my Words Are Images typographical quotes. Words have a strong visual impact, and I wanted to explore that." Ionut's is an instinctive, emotion-led approach shaped by more than a decade of exploration. Originally trained in industrial design at the Marin Sorescu Art High School in Craiova, Ionut later studied graphic arts at the National Art and Design University in Bucharest, where he would go on to co-teach illustration and lettering classes alongside professor Stela Lie. The two remain close collaborators through Romania's Illustrator's Club, which is a creative community from which Ionut still draws inspiration. "Europe and Romania have a more experimental approach to visual culture in general. There are a lot of indie artistic festivals and platforms that play more and explore interesting ways of storytelling," he says. "I'm part of the Illustrator's Club Romania, and we have members in there with very unique, experimental voices." While his early influences included British illustrators Marion Deuchars and Sara Fanelli, a move to New York helped sharpen Ionut's visual style, stripping it back and simplifying the language but dialling up the emotional directness. Bold colour, graphic forms, and a preference for hand-crafted imperfection became key to his work, whether for print, editorial, or branding. "It's important to me that you can feel the human touch. Even if it's a final digital piece, I want it to have that emotion," he says. For a Dipsea cover, for instance, the ink-drawn type was sketched on large sheets of paper before being digitised. "The computer can't always capture the spontaneity, the energy, the roughness. I like seeing that imperfection." It's a philosophy that shaped his recent award-winning work, too. His recent American Illustration win celebrated a collage and type piece that plays with balance, boldness and visual rhythm – a kind of structured chaos that invites interpretation. This blend of freedom and form is what makes Ionut's output feel both striking and sincere. Beyond the craft, it's the message that always matters most for Ionut. From collages on queer identity to affirming typographic statements on confidence and self-worth, his illustrations often speak directly to viewers' emotional states. That connection is part of the goal. "I want to inspire and motivate people," he says. "I want them to feel, react, reflect and stay with the artwork for a bit, even if it's just a short moment. That makes me happy. That means the message came across." He recalls messages from strangers who've seen his work and felt lifted or comforted by the sentiment. "It goes beyond aesthetics and creative craft," he adds. "Sometimes we just need to hear something or see it in order to feel better." That personal resonance translates into his commercial work, too. Ionut's ability to channel emotional and cultural themes has led to collaborations with brands that value not just good design but meaningful storytelling. From feminist and sex-positive narratives at Thinx and Dipsea to identity-affirming work for Hello Mr. magazine, the thread between personal and professional remains strong. "Queer themes, identity, sexuality, feminism, motivation — these are important to the clients I've worked with, and I was fortunate to be able to come in and express those things to a wider audience," he says. Of course, Ionut's process can differ with each project. Editorial and personal projects might be led by instinct and reflection, but campaigns and branding briefs often require strategic alignment, mood boards, deck presentations, and collaborative iteration. Still, Ionut welcomes the structure, especially when it allows space for meaning. "I've learned to enjoy the creative journey," he says. "The most important thing is working with a good team toward a common goal: to make something great and meaningful that makes you feel, that makes you react." Outside of client work, Ionut has also been active as a mentor, educator, and awards judge, most recently for global platforms like The One Club. Teaching, he says, is a way to give back and keep learning. "I think we live in exciting but challenging times. Technology is moving fast, so I try to ground students to ask the right questions and think beyond trends," he says. "It made me really happy to see some using analogue mediums in really experimental ways. There's still so much potential in that." For someone who began his creative life before touching a computer, print remains a powerful medium. His limited-edition screen prints for Print Club London speak to that love: tactile, imperfect, handmade. "Print has tactility," he says. "You can touch it, hold it, experience it in a way digital can't replicate." Yet he isn't precious about tools. While Ionut still favours hand-drawn elements and lo-fi media, he's curious about technology's role, including animation and, tentatively, AI. "I want to animate my lettering, type and illustration pieces more and maybe explore sound," he says. "I've experimented a bit with Blender while keeping that handmade feeling. And I've used AI in subtle ways to enhance images or speed up production." But for Ionut, the tools are secondary. "Ultimately, it's just that – tools. What matters is the craft and the voice. That took me years to build, and I'm still evolving." As for what's next, Ionut is pretty open. "I want to let myself be surprised," he says. "I want to work with great people, be excited about the process, and be part of a community. Keep learning, keep exploring." That sense of curiosity and openness runs through all of Ionut's work. Whether working with global brands or drawing for himself, he returns to a simple, striking idea: creativity as self-expression, crafted with care and shared without shame.

See Flannery O’Connor’s Little-Known Visual Artworks That Had Been Collecting Dust in Storage From childhood cartoons to thoughtful self-portraits, the acclaimed Southern writer was always a keen observer of her surroundings Many of O'Connor's artworks drew on the rural Southern surroudings of her family farm in Milledgeville, Georgia. Georgia College & State University “Any discipline can help your writing: logic, mathematics, theology, and of course and particularly drawing,” Flannery O’Connor wrote in an essay titled “The Nature and Aim of Fiction.” “Anything that helps you to see, anything that makes you look. The writer should never be ashamed of staring. There is nothing that doesn’t require his attention.” As a writer, O’Connor took her own advice to heart. Across dozens of short stories and two novels published before her early death from lupus at age 39, she “refused to seek success by generating nostalgia for a mythologized past, instead sketching masterful portraits of the people she observed around her, in all their flaws and contradictions,” writes Smithsonian magazine’s Ellen Wexler. But O’Connor didn’t just sketch people with her words. Long before she attended the prestigious Iowa Writers’ Workshop or the Yaddo writers’ retreat in upstate New York, she drew cartoons and caricatures for her high school and college newspapers. Even as her writing career progressed, she never ceased turning her intense gaze toward visual art, from oil paintings to linoleum-block prints. In celebration of her 100th birthday on March 25, 2025, Georgia College & State University (GCSU), O’Connor’s alma mater, gathered 70 rare visual artworks from throughout her life for an exhibition called “Hidden Treasures” at Andalusia, the farm in Milledgeville, Georgia, where she spent the last 14 years of her life. A cartoon from O'Connor's college days Georgia College & State University “Scholars continue to study Flannery, to research her, and to use her as a model in creative writing programs,” Katie Simon, a literary scholar and the interim executive director of the Flannery O’Connor Institute for the Humanities at GCSU, says in a statement. “She’s taught as an example of literature—but scholars are starting to look at her as a visual artist, as well. These paintings reveal that she never stopped creating visual art until her death.” Many of the pieces in the exhibition are on public view for the first time. Although scholars and O’Connor fans were aware of her artworks, only “her family knew exactly where they were, which was a storage unit in town—[a] storage unit behind the Cook Out,” a fast-food restaurant chain, as Andalusia curator Cassie Munnell tells Devon Zwald of Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB). Stashing O’Connor’s paintings, prints and drawings away in an obscure storage unit was no accident, however. The writer’s mother, Regina Cline O’Connor, and early trustees of her estate “weren’t sure if she would be rightly recognized as what she is: one of the greatest short story writers,” Farrell O’Gorman, a new trustee of the O’Connor estate, explains to the New York Times’ Walker Mimms. “I think they were worried that the paintings might somehow distract from her achievements as a writer.” Born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1925, O’Connor grew up in Milledgeville and graduated from GCSU. While she prepared for a writing career up north, she was forced back to Andalusia in 1950, when she started developing symptoms of lupus. The autoimmune disease meant that when O’Connor, a devout Catholic, wasn’t going to mass or tending to her peafowl, she spent much of her time on the first floor of the farmhouse—a state of immobility and isolation that honed her creative talents in prose and paint. O'Connor's depiction of her mother, dressed in green, at Andalusia Farm Anna Gay Leavitt / Georgia College & State University One of the first paintings O’Connor created after her diagnosis was a self-portrait. She’s wearing a halo-like straw hat and holding a pheasant. Both O’Connor and the bird stare directly at the viewer. “You know, I think it’s hilarious,” Simon tells GPB. “She’s like, ‘Look at me, American Gothic. I’m sick. I was forced to come back to Milledgeville. But I’m a saint.’ … I think you can read this on so many levels.” Many of O’Connor’s works from the Andalusia period reflect her rural surroundings, with colorful paintings of fowl, flowers and farmhouses. But she never let her attentive eye stray too far from the people around her, whom she would explore in various media—from satirical cartoons of fellow students to sensitive portraits of a Black woman, likely a farm worker, crocheting. Rather than detracting from O’Connor’s sharp prose, these artworks “complement and expand” what we know about her creative sensibilities, Munnell tells Artnet’s Min Chen. “You can see the ways that her ideas and the way she described people carried over. Her fiction is often quite dramatic and her characters are often described in these big, bold ways. This carries over in how she painted.” “Hidden Treasures” is on view at the Andalusia Interpretive Center in Milledgeville, Georgia, through the summer.
